- A couple days ago my kids turned the PS3 on and it went to a black screen that says to connect the controller via the usb cable. What do we need to Liz this problem?

My problem is i connect the controller in my ps3 goes perfectly fine but its keeps coming back randomly
Mi PS3 super slim was acting as if it has a broken WiFi module which was not the case because when i've upgraded (via pendrive) the system software to 4.89 voila! wireless internet conection was back... but and that's a big but... my perfectly functional and fully charged original controllers are not syncing (i'm using orignal USB cable)... any suggestions? i've already tried reseting the controllers with a clip.
mine happens but it connected i tried everything but not working taking the hardrive out wont work idk if i can do with keyboard idk pls help
i have this exact screen showing up but i only have a ps4 controller that i can plug into the ps3 anyone know what to do? or do i just gotta buy a ps3 controller
i felt kinda sad for this guy,he couldn't even play it 😔
So we really have to get an original ps3 controller with usb?
Have you found any other ways
@@Tkeppy no
That’s rare to find
@@artvas9611 did you lose yours
@@artvas9611 I have 3 original ones so I wouldn’t think they would be that hard to find
For the message on the screen push the power button to turn off, second, hold the power button till you hear three beep sounds. It the screen goes back to the message then hold the button on the PS3 till the menu of the restore and rebuild links come up.
Man I tried this method and it still did not work all I see is that the lights are blinking and nothing seems to work for me
@@jjreyes2017I dont even get the ps3 to display anything to the screen anymore
this is not working too, i have the same problem and nothing is working...
Can I reset it with duplicate controller no the original one plz tell me quick
Got a better way while the game is off take out the hard drive. Than turn the game on, while 15 seconds in put the hard drive back in. Than some thing is going to pop up just turn the game back off then power it back on. hope it work for you.
MDK Gaming how do you do it if you don't have a slim?
bro OMG it worked... three damn days I couldn't figure it then I go to RUclips nothing, till I read your comment 😀 thanks
MDK Gaming. hell yeah brother thanks shit worked no bullshit
MDK Gaming
I'm soooo happy. it worked!!
I have a asid tech wireless and it wouldn’t connect to the ps3 can someone help me understand why and how to get it working please
Sumania do you have to leave the controller connected?
I have that same transparent one, its compatible with the ps3. No problems
I turned on my ps3 and it was on this I don’t know how it got to this because I played it yesterday now it says plug in my remote useing an usb but the only remote I got for it is a wiered one is there something else I can do
will generic controller works with original cable?
So do you need a ps3 controller coz i connected me ps4 controller because me ps3 charger port got stuck in my ps3 controller
I git the same problem although i cant find my ps3 controlers so i tried my ps4 ones and they dont workd
Did you turn it on or nah

@@Malicaioppin me too
I wanted to rebuilt database but only have my ps4 controller
Same
Help, same situation here
My usb cable is stolen so what should I do?
Yeah mine has the same exact symptom so I was a little optimistic that this would work and bought a wired controller,but mine is still stuck on that message plus still has to be unplugged to turn it off. I'm glad yours made it though👍. I believe mine has a motherboard issue.
Did you figure it out if having same issue
D Jile did you figure it out cus I’m trying it now and I’m stuck
@@jonnerfan491 bro You found the solution ?
Why my PlayStation controller wont connect but is random today dont work yesterday is work idk why

Me too🤦♂️
I have been trying to jailbreak got so close but right when i went into recovery mode i noticed a needed a original ps3 controller 😭
Some problem
You can do it without a PS3 controller,I dont have one but I did it
But some reason mine went into safe mode and now I'm stuck
Lol imagine jail breaking on 4,86 real Og’s jailbreak on 3,55
@@poison_za how did you do it without an controller?
Can anyone help my ps3 usb kinda strange when I plug my USB and controller nothing happen but when I charge my phone its working? Anyone can help?
Will a third party controller work?
the thing is that when this after market controllers think that there is first player and u connect another ps3 controller and u make that one the player the after market losses it's mind and blinks alot I had that problem too. the way I fixed was finding what controller number the one with all lights blinking was on. and try the controller setting and changing them
Mines the same I only have a wireless controller
Is there a way to connect it with the afterglow controller?
That's what I need to know
@@austinrussell7242 spoiler alert, after days of looking it up, there really isnt a way to do it, you just have to buy an og ps3 controller
Dang I have one I cant get it to connect though
@@austinrussell7242 you could check if it's the controller or the wire by bringing it to a place like gamestop and having them check it. If not you might have to buy a new one
@@NunyaBiznes100dude I just wanna say 4 years later. Thank you!! I bought a “refurbished” ps3 on Amazon and they screwed me over by giving me a shitty afterglow and I couldn’t connect at all. Thanks dude now I have to spend more money on a real controller lol
there is one problem, I DONT HAVE A PS3 CHARGER, I have a USB ps3 controller...
me two did not work even with hard boot it would just turn on with the same frozen screen
Bro same for me i have a charger but not a controller
Same we need a method to fix this
So you guys have any method yet? I tried restart it by pressing the small hole with a pin technique, and.. Nope
I did everything you did but it’s telling me that I have to connect storage media that contains update data version 4.82 or later , and then press the start and select buttons at the same time . I don’t understand it lol
Same
Thanks. I just reset the control like you did while plugged in with the PS3 on.
May be a little late on this and I hope you have figured it out by now, but all you do is make sure everything is off/PS3 off, plug your controller up to the system in the front as if you're charging it, then leave it that way for several minutes. Now turn your system on like you're going to play a game with the cord in the controller, try to move and select some things and when you see it move, turn the system back off. Now press the PLAYSTATION button and it should turn your system on. Mine is a super slim like yours but a 500GB. Hopefully this works.
That's not the problem tho
Thanks man it worked for me but after that I got sent to another black screen thats says system software cannot be run correctly. Prese the PS button to try restart the system. If the system cannot be restarted you must reinstall the system software.
I actually have the blacks PS3 and Mike says connect controller using USB cable and press the PS button exactly like yours and I've done everything you've done and mine still is saying the same exact thing when I plug the controllers in that light turns on but it still doesn't work
Yo bro did u solve this im tryin but also dont work what to do
I've now done a hard reset on my console, and followed every recommendation for syncing the controllers, and they still won't work. They worked fine for the past two years, and overnight just stopped working about a month ago. Can't find a solution... I get no error messages at all, and the controllers work on other consoles, but not on mine.
me too one day i hooked it up and it said connect controller with usb cable i have usb type no wire i plugged it in nothing happend its been like this to this day hard boot did not work so your not alone
Same exact situation here
@@Bane2TuffAtBall mabey your ps3 just got fucked up by something I think something inside me happened to break ut like this
@@fellow5640 it ended up working out idk I just let it be for like a week.
@@Bane2TuffAtBall I have let it be for like 4 months I just want to play soul caliber with my friend

CAN SOMEMONE PLSS HELP ME MY BROTHERS PLAYSTAYTION WOULDNT CONNECT ANY CONTROLLER EITH THE CHARGER AND THE RESET
I had this issue just now, all I did was do a hard shut down by holding the power button to turn it off with the controller plugged in. Then when it restarted it recognized the PS button and could reset.

Hi I'm watching ur vedio in 2021 which mean after 4 years . 😌
Where is the console (the ps3) now ? 😂😂😂
In the original box on a shelf in my garage.
I'm having the same problem with mine pal
all u do is check on the side or the bottom of your ps3 to see if u see the hard drive if u do open the case and there should be a blue or black screw unscrew it and take the hard drive out boot the system and it will give u an error then put the hard drive in and restart:)
omg thank you so much ive had this problem for so long and literally couldn't find a fix anywhere and really couldn't be bothered to buy a official ps3 controller ik this is a year old but honestly thank you so much
You’re a saint and a scholar. You averted mass anxiety I was having over this problem. Thank you very much.
This is correct
Thank you :)
@@SucCoxInHelli uninstalled my hard drive and opened the ps3, then a messafe said that it cannot restart due to unsufficient system storage then plugged in the hard drive turned it off and on and still i cannot plug my controller
Look all you have to do is pick the back button for ten sec and plug the usb cable but press it hard inside the controller make sure your ps3 is off when u do it then when it gets to the health issue thing turn the controler on and it should work.
im bout to try\
mods and hacks You tried mate?
it dont work im iusing a usb controller is that why
mods and hacks I am using an original one and it still does not work...
@@ridvanvejzagic2887 I turned everything off. Reset the controller. Connected the controller. Turned on the PS3. Got a message saying I should press start and select at the same time, but it didn't do anything. So I turned off the PS3. Started it back up again and it started working.
I found out how to fix it. all u hav to do is goto the side of the ps3 (if its superslim) or the bottom of the ps3 (if it is slim, look it up on utube, it is too complicated to explain) and slide it up and the side case will pop it (it will hav hard drive if it doesnt then idk how to fix it) remove the hard drive case with a screwdriver (it will be a blue or black screw), after u remove the hard drive, turn the ps3 on WITHOUT the hard drive! U will get a blank screen, then put the hard drive back in WHILE the ps3 is ON, u will get an error, ignore it and restart ur ps3, and voila! It shud work, keep in mind to screw it back in tightly after the ps3 works, and this fix MIGHT take a couple of tries, i had to try it abt 5 times to get it to work. Happy gaming!
Sumania thanks for the info.
Sumania
did it work?
Sumania no
thanks
you saved my ps3.. well my son's ps3.. 2019... old school.. oh well.. thank you!!!!
Doesnt work. There is pop up :"connect fhe controller using usb cable. And press the ps button " i dont have original controller. I have giotech wired controller. So wo can i skip this without original ps3 controller??
sahan tharinda I don't know the brand of the controller but I got a cheap wired controller from Walmart for $12 and it worked for mine.

Hi guys! I have the same problem, I don't know what I have to do anymore. How do you fix it? Yesterday when I was playing the game freeze. And after this my PS3 stuck on boot screen.
Please I have a problem like this I've done everything I can do I even reset the controller but it still won't work
What do I do?
Same did u find fix
can i use ps4 controller on ps3 safe mode?
Yuri ): I don’t think so I’m currently trying to bypass it but it won’t work..
@@alectricalexia Yeah bro it doesnt work
OK. this how you fix it . first off if your light is green when it turns on this will work if it is red its dead. ok you will need to charge your controller on your pc if it is dead . step 1 turn off your ps3 in the back . step 2 put your usb cord in the left side it will not work on the right side make sure that it is the only thing plugged in .step 3 turn your ps3 back on with your controller not hooked into your usb cord yet . step 4 get a toothpick no metal pins at all and turn on your controller still not hooked in to your ps3 and reset your controller with the toothpick in the back tell the light goes out then plug it in to your usb cord and you should be good . I hope this helps
peter l doesn’t work. Have three ps3 controllers all of them fail to sync no matter how Many times I reset them.
@@MrTomemac are you giving your ps3 a hard restart meaning turning it off in the back of the console then going through the steps i put in my post .but you half to give it a hard restart before resting your controller .and try leaving you console off for 15 to 20 mins when you turn it off from the back you should see no lights on your console when you turn it off that way and make sure your usb cord is in the left usb slot
@@peterl1647 I have a PS3 Lite model so there is no switch. I pulled out the cord in the back and waited a bit before reinserting it. Even after having done that though and following the rest of the steps all 3 controllers still refuse to sync. This includes the controller that came with the system.
@@MrTomemac so you unplugged the power right . and are you sure your usb cord is working ? and when you reset your controller you have it on but not plugged in to the ps3 ? and it is flashing all red dots and when you put the tooth pick in to the reset hole in the back of the controller you leave it in tell the lights stop flashing ?
peter l yup did it just like that, no dice on all three.
take hard drive out then start then off then replace hard drive = SORTED :)
Holy shit I love you so much right now. Like in a bro way
